There is no step up into the shower and no shower lip to negotiate. Everything is accessible by wheelchair. Usually the whole room is waterproofed, although you have the option to only waterproof the areas where the shower water may reach.

Tile Backer Boards Used in the Construction of a Wetroom

One of the main uses for tile backer boards is during the installation of a wetroom. Wetrooms are fully tanked, or waterproof, rooms with a level-access shower. These types of rooms will typically have the drain inset into the floor, replacing the conventional plastic shower tray. With no shower trays, wetrooms can be designed with more scope and provide a great opportunity to be creative with colours, layouts, and style.

There are many benefits of having a wetroom installed in your home with quality tile backer boards. When properly fixed, the tile backer boards ensure that the entire wet room is waterproof protecting any background from water leakages and residue. Without the use of a tile backer board, your wetroom could potentially fall victim to water damage and thousands of pounds worth of repairs.

Tile backer and insulation boards are lightweight, yet strong enough to withstand the weight of heavy tiles. Leakage and other limitations caused from poor quality boards can be disastrous. To ensure that you’re using tile backer boards fit for the job from manufacturers such as Marmox and Orbry, visit Tile Fix Direct or contact a helpful Tile Fix Direct advisor on 0333 320 04 24.
